[llvm-dev] Building llvm with clang and lld on arm and the llvm arm backend relocation on position independent code

I've successfully used Peter's patches to get past those relocation
errors.

    Yes it should cover the following relocations:
    R_ARM_CALL (ARM BL/BLX)
    R_ARM_JUMP24 (ARM B)
    R_ARM_THM_CALL (Thumb BL/BLX)
    R_ARM_THM_JUMP19 (Thumb conditional B<cc>.w)
    R_ARM_THM_JMP24 (Thumb unconditional B.w)

[llvm-dev] Building llvm with clang and lld on arm and the llvm arm backend relocation on position independent code

Sorry for the noob question: where do I get the patches?

I can see the bug but not a link to the patches ( I don't have a login if
that is the issue )

[llvm-dev] Building llvm with clang and lld on arm and the llvm arm backend relocation on position independent code

The bottom of the bug has the revision numbers (e.g. D34035). That one
corresponds to e.g. https://reviews.llvm.org/D34035

There's also https://reviews.llvm.org/D34634 which contains all of
Peter's
patches, but it's not going to rebase cleanly once the individual patches
start going in.

    Sorry for the noob question: where do I get the patches?
    
    I can see the bug but not a link to the patches ( I don't have a login
if that is the issue )
